check the PH in fresh salt water then check it after it has sat for 24 hours or so and you will understand why you should let it sit. It may be different with other brands of salt but reef crystals takes time to be at the correct PH. I mix mine, add a powerhead and heater, let sit for 24 hours and the do my water changes.
